Ending the service mode
The GEM automatically ends service mode 20
seconds after the last input or at a driving speed
of over 7 km/h. However, service mode can be
manually ended at any time by proceeding as
follows:
• OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
• SWITCH OFF the ignition
• RELEASE the switch of the heated rear window
3 signals sound and the turn signal lamps illuminate
to indicate that service mode has ended.
Reset service mode
If, after completion of service mode, some functions
do not operate or do not operate properly, check
the following functions:
• Instrument cluster illumination, side lamps and license plate lamp in autolamps mode
• Rear wiper
• Headlamp Washers
• Electric booster heater
• Active anti-theft sounder
• Heated windshield
If one or more of the listed functions is not OK, it's
possible that the cause of the fault is due to not
exiting service mode properly. To reactivate the
functions correctly, perform the following steps:
1. SWITCH OFF the ignition
2. SWITCH OFF the switch for the windscreen wash/wipe system 3.
OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
4. Turn on the ignition.
5. RELEASE the heated rear window switch (an acoustic signal will sound if activation has been
performed correctly)
6. SWITCH the windscreen wash/wipe switch to the "Intermittent wipe" position
7. OPERATE the heated rear window switch 6 times (the main beam headlamps switch on and
off)
8. SWITCH OFF the switch for the windscreen wash/wipe system
9. OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
10. SWITCH OFF the ignition
11. RELEASE the heated rear window switch (three
acoustic signals will sound if activation has been
performed correctly)
After completion of the work, check all the
functions.
Inspection and Checking
NOTE: The generic electronic module (GEM) forms
part of the central junction box (CJB).
NOTE: If the generic electronic module (GEM) is
changed, the new one must be reconfigured. For
this purpose, the vehicle-specific data is read out
of the module to be replaced using the Ford
approved diagnostic tool and is transferred to the
new module.
NOTE: Before reading out the vehicle-specific data,
remake all the electrical connections which were
separated in the vehicle, so that communication
between the module and the Ford approved
diagnostic tool is ensured.

systems depends on the equipment level of the
vehicle.
In order to guarantee a high degree of error
protection, two 120 Ohm terminating resistors are
installed in the CAN. These are integrated in the
first module connected to the CAN and in the last
module connected to the CAN respectively and
are used for suppression as well as the elimination
of voltage peaks. In order to ensure correct
functioning of the data bus system, the modules
must always be connected with an integral
terminating resistor. In order to enable
communication between the modules on the
HS-CAN and the modules on the MS-CAN, one
module is connected to both data bus systems.
The connection of both data bus systems is
designated as a gateway. In this gateway, the
received data is converted to the transmission rate
required for the relevant data bus and is
transmitted. This ensures an optimal distribution
of information between both data bus systems.

FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL

Module Controlled Functions – Overview
Generic electronics module (GEM)
CAUTIONS:
Never swap the GEM (generic electronic
module) between two vehicles.
Compare the number of relays and fuses
in the defective GEM and the new GEM.
Transfer from the defective GEM any relays
and fuses which are not in the new GEM.
In doing so, pay attention that fuses with
the correct Ampere rating are used, by
referring to the wiring diagrams.
NOTE: The GEM is integrated in the CJB (central
junction box) and cannot be replaced as a separate
unit.
For repair work during a service, vehicle-specific
configuration is necessary if a new GEM is
installed.
Emergency function
The GEM is equipped with restricted emergency
running functions on vehicles with mid or high-end
equipment levels.
The microcontroller sends a control signal to a
monitoring function within the GEM at regular
intervals. If the battery voltage falls below a value
of approx. 7.5 volts, this check signal is not present
and the GEM switches to emergency function after
a predetermined time.
In this case, the low beam is permanently switched
on, regardless of the light switch position. The
windshield wiper can only be operated in stage 1;
the wiper switch must however be in the stage I or
II position. The wiper park position is not
recognized. Intermittent wiping is not available.
When the control signal recurs, the GEM switches
back to normal operation.
Service mode
Description of operation
Diagnosis of the GEM can be carried out using the
Ford diagnostic unit. Furthermore, an integrated
service mode enables testing of the input and
output signals without the need for further tools.
To enable activation of service mode: • switch off the ignition,
• switch off all other electrical consumers,
• apply the handbrake,
• Shift to neutral
• and close the doors.
Activating the service mode
NOTE:
If the alarm is activated (in vehicles fitted
with an anti-theft alarm system), service mode
cannot be activated.
Proceed as follows to activate the service mode:
• OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
• SWITCH ON the ignition.
• RELEASE the switch of the heated rear window
A signal sounds and the turn signal lamps come
on to indicate that service mode has been
successfully activated.
Inputs
SWITCH the windshield wiper switch to the "OFF"
position to test the input signals. The following is
a list of the switch signals to be tested, in no
particular order:
• Windshield wiper stage I
• Windshield wiper stage II
• Windshield washer system
• Rear window wiper
• Rear window washer system
• Doors open/closed
• Remote control for central locking with double locking
• Hood open/closed (in vehicles equipped with an anti-theft alarm system)
• Tailgate open/closed
• A/C request signal
• Heated windscreen (if fitted)
• Parking brake
• Brake fluid level
• Cruise control system
• Autolamps
• Dipped beam
• Main beam
• Headlamp flasher
• Side lights
• Turn signals (right, left, hazard warning lights) G1030787en

Output signals
SWITCH the wiper switch to the "intermittent""
position to test the output signals. PRESSING the
heated rear window switch activates the output
signals in the following order:
a.
Left-hand turn signal
b. Right-hand turn signal
c. Main beam
d. Dipped beam
e. Windshield wiper stage I
f. Windshield wiper stage II
g. Heated rear windshield

j. Electric booster heater (if fitted)
k. Autolamps (position lamps only if fitted)
l. Alarm horn (vehicles with alarm system)
m. Rear window wiper
n. Heated front window relay
When the heated rear window switch is pressed
again, the test of the relevant signal is terminated.
When the heated rear window switch is pressed
once more, the test for the next signal in the list is
started.
End service mode
The GEM automatically ends service mode 20
seconds after the last input or at a driving speed
of over 7km/h. However, service mode can be
manually ended at any time by proceeding as
follows:
• PRESS and HOLD the switch of the heated rear
window
• SWITCH OFF the ignition.
• RELEASE the switch of the heated rear window
3 signals sound and the turn signal lamps illuminate
to indicate that service mode has ended.
Reset service mode
If, after completion of service mode, some functions
do not operate or do not operate properly, check
the following functions:
• Instrument cluster illumination, side marker lamps (side lights) and licence plate lamp in
automatic headlamps mode
• Rear wiper
• Headlamp washer assembly
• Electric booster heater • Alarm horn
• Heated windshield
If one or more of the listed functions is not OK, it's
possible that the cause of the fault is due to not
exiting service mode properly. To reactivate the
functions correctly, perform the following steps:
1. Switch off the ignition.
2. SWITCH OFF the switch for the windscreen
wash/wipe system
3. OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
4. SWITCH ON the ignition.
5. RELEASE the heated rear window switch (an acoustic signal will sound if activation has been
performed correctly)
6. SWITCH the windscreen wash/wipe switch to the "Intermittent wipe" position
7. OPERATE the heated rear window switch 6 times (the main beam headlamps switch on and
off automatically)
8. SWITCH OFF the switch for the windscreen wash/wipe system
9. OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
10. Switch off the ignition.
11. RELEASE the heated rear window switch (three

After completion of the work, check all the
functions.
